    hca will still mean little to GS and it will mean a lot less to Houston next year as well as it should

    KD seems like the type of person that would leave GS after winning a ring this year just to not give anyone a chance to beat them. Like that one friend that would lose to you in Street Fighter II ten times in a row, finally beats you on the eleventh try, and says he/she doesn’t want to play anymore

    Boston has a legit shot to challenge the Warriors that they have lucked into. They have a small window where they will have four, maybe five all-star caliber players in their starting lineup. Once guys start getting paid and Horford ages fast...we'll see. They've really lucked into something with Brown and Tatum being all star types. If Brown can be a deadeye 3 shooter going forward...wow. Lucky bastards.

    That's really the only non-Houston team I see that can threaten the Warriors aside from Lebron forming some teamup somewhere that we can't foresee.

    If you had to guess, where do you think LeBron goes?

    I would guess he goes to Houston.

    Cowturd: Why?

    It's like the next Avengers movie. Golden State with like 100 superheroes, Houston with 100 superheroes and they fight. Stars are figuring out their power. He'll be the biggest free agent ever in history. The dynamic Houston has, you can argue they could have taken Golden State down this year. KD went to Golden State & they teamed up, beat this. Now it's on another organization to give that same narrative.

    He's not the only one. I honestly don't think 90% of these sports journalists do any research about the cap situations of these teams that are in the LeBron sweepstakes. So they just talk out of their ass. Or they let their emotions guide their opinions. In Skip's case, he's a diehard Spurs fan who hates the Rockets. So obviously he doesn't want LeBron coming here.

    I hate Boston to the point of avoiding them, but it'll be worth watching to see if Gordon and Kyrie can maintain their health.

    This is why I think Morey proclaiming that the Rockets will do whatever they can to beat GS will play in our favor.

    Chris Paul didn’t fit in with the Clippers players that were there for a check more than winning, but on the Rockets where everyone was locked in to win he was a perfect fit.

    LeBron is a competitor and the way Morey has gone about being aggressive in challenging GS will undoubtedly appeal to him more than a franchise that is just aiming to stay above water.

    Look how Cowherd "sets up" the scenarios. Philly young, Lakes "have PG" "the brand", Rockets? have vets but CP has to get max, no bench blah blah.
    How crestfallen is Cowherd when Bosh quickly says "Houston" is the answer. LOL

    LeBron James likes HIGH IQ players.



    (........players like Harden, Paul and Tucker)



    LeBron laments NOT having multiple playmakers

    Hey LeBron, Rockets have their own modest version of Draymond Green in PJ Tucker. #THICC

    This complements Lebron has given the warriors the last couple times hes spoken to the media makes me think he may actually consider the warriors. He did do that commercial with Durant.

    Not to mention, we made Draymond look like **** pretty much all series. Harden straight up posterized him twice, we had him missing dunks against us, and we would make him look like a fool out at the 3 point line.

    That would absolutely destroy Lebron's legacy, there's no chance that happens. He's more likely to throw away the rest of his career with the Lakers than to destroy his legacy by making the same beta b**** move KD did.

    Celtics beat writer quoting a Warriors affiliated reporter.

    Haynes says teams to watch are Boston and Toronto then says Boston is actually out cause Kyrie is there. This fool is all over the place lmao.
